Reply #23: Help us "book collectors out." What's the "hot market" for Used Books?

[KoKo]

I have mostly Cook Books and some Vintage but not a lot. I don't see any BUZZ about collectibles out there. I feel we are still "Unwinding the Cheap Chinese Markets" for "lead laden chinaware and other goods" from Crate & Barrell where all my nieces and nephews want their wedding Gift Certificates to come from.

Just over the Holidays I followed a Grandma and Grand-Daughter around a "High Price Gifty Store" and the Grandaughter complained her mom had passed off her "silver collection to her and she had bad memories having to polish it all when she was a kid growing up...and she dreaded her mom passing it on to her." (Quote from young lovely gal following Grandma around and what SHE thought about her Mom's STUFF...in the silver area, anyway)

What's going on here? The "Collectibles of the Past" are the "DOGS OF TODAY?" :shrug: What the Heck has ANY VALUE if SILVER from GRANDMA is to be "tossed out" these day?
